Oh shit. I only imagine one second that I would be stuck in the traffic while the show goes on .... what a FUCKING nightmare, I think I would have started to run to the show.
Edit : Oh sorry, I didn't read the thing u said about running, anyway I would have run just for the matter of principle.
Now this is sad. I think the crowd was feeling quite sad too, when they saw some Opeth fan arriving hopelessly late at the show and missing something like 90% of the gig.
